My kids graduated from a high school that presents each graduate with a copy of Oh, The Places You’ll Go, with their diploma.

@Avitable, Lord of the Flies, 1984 and A Wrinkle In Time are great books. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve read A Wrinkle In Time. In fact, I still have the copy I was given in elementary school. So much for returning it to my school library!

I was going to mention Little Women and Pride and Prejudice, but I’m too shocked at the “Dickens is crap” comment. DICKENS???? Are you kidding?

(shaking head in disbelief)

Otherwise, you have a good list.
